Gauloises is a brand of cigarette of French manufacturer Seita, but lately its production was assigned to Altadis with joint French and Spanish ownership, and thus company continues manufacture and international distribution. Traditional Gauloises were originally short, wide, unfiltered and made with dark Syrian and Turkish tobaccos which gave off a strong and distinctive smell.

Galouises has achieved semi-iconic status. Between the World Wars, the smoking of Gauloises in France was considered patriotic. The brand was also linked to high-status and inspirational figures representing the worlds of art like Pablo Picasso and the intellectual elite like Jean Paul Sartre. This, together with the romantic associations of France, made Gauloises a popular brand among some writers and artists.

In mid 2003 the Gauloises brand was discontinued entirely in the USA. Remaining inventory carried through into early 2004. Company officials are on record as saying they have no plans to ever again sell Gauloises in the USA. But they are always available for purchasing in our online store.

What makes classic a classic? It is that, which is never out of fashion, always a discovery for a new generation, something that one wants to revisit. Classic is a noble and velvety taste of a balanced fragrance and refined style, which is outside of time, just as it is appropriate for a classic.

They are natural organic cigarettes, the manufacture of which excludes any and all chemical processing of tobacco or addition of any infusions, preservatives and flavoring agents.

The traditional American formula is made up of choice tobacco leaves of several sorts of tobacco, which is thoroughly treated and “inserted” into a cigarette in the form of a “sack”, which is penetrated with air pores. Thanks to the 100% naturalness of the tobacco and its high level of “porosity”, the Classic’s fragrance and taste can be compared only with the sensations that one get when he smokes genuine pipe tobacco.
